Our Hearty Lentil Soup has a secret ingredient that makes it extra tasty– Worcestershire Sauce.  (We use Annie’s Naturals brand because it is organic and vegan).  The rich, umami flavors in this sauce and the texture of the lentils make it flavorful and filling.  Our friends and family love it!  Serve it up with bread and salad and you have yourself a satisfying and delicious meal.
